Kangaroo Bookings is a scam

And yes, I also create my account just to express my point of view.

I dont see where is the scam, it is all explained in places like this too:

We are going to talk about an important part in the life of a musical artist. Be featured in events, gigs and performances. It is often complicated and stressful to have to compose, record, sell your music and deal with event organizers to be hired as artist. The truth is that this is a recurring theme between the musicians from the world of music.


Today I want to tell you about a french agency that manages reservations. It should be noted that the agency works internationally. http://kangaroobookings.com


In its web page you can find its policies, terms and conditions: http://kangaroobookings.com/faq

For those who do not like reading, I summarize it with these four points:

Travel and accommodation costs are fully covered by the organizer.
10% commission for the reservations they get for you.
There are two forms of entry: public profile and mail address (under the payment of a $35 bail) or free of charge (no verified profile or mailing address).
You can leave the agency at any time.

I'm going to show you how book an artist in three simple steps:

1.Go to http://kangaroobookings.com website.


2.Select "Country/Style" of the artist you want to hire (in my case Techno from Germany).


At this point the website will show you the offers in these areas, just select your artist "clicking" on the desired profile.

3.Complete the form and press the "Send" button.


That easy!


Now you know another music booking agency, I hope this will be of help to all of you, musicians especially, who are busy in the musical creation and can not take the time to look for performances.

Hey man, I know you're probably feeling really angry about this. Email us and we can talk about this agency, since we're actually signed to them and are currently working with them. I will be honest with you, they seemed shady at first and the fee is absolutely real, we did not have to pay that fee. I will answer literally any question you have via text, call or again- a classic email.
our band email is dreamhouseband@outlook.com
I'm sorry for your feelings on this, I've seen a lot of speculation as to whether or not this agency is a legitimate one or not. And before you stop and think, wait, this jerk works for them, I don't. I only have my experiences and ideas about them. Which are very fair in my opinion.

I actually already saw that thread and was kind of worried. I read up on the issues and scam accusations that Kangaroo has received. But you've failed to read the reply that Anthony had on this entire topic, In it he apologises and says some other interesting things. Again that email I provided is ours, and is not represented by Kangaroo, so it's not a monitored account. However it seems that most people who see that email are going to stare blankly and not click the email link.. So i'll go ahead and address what my concerns were with Kangaroo.

first off i wanna say that they have...
Shady. As. Fuck. Methods.
Yes i received a similar message and overall i was not upset, i was curious. i continued to roast the heck out of Anthony for several days and was very through in asking him about how they operate and what exactly their gigs would entail. However my band was offered to be brought over to Europe to do shows there, NOT in our home country (US).
most of our members are still trying to make it through college, so i proposed that we spend a year working on a debut and merchandise and then conduct a winter tour instead of the originally talked about summer tour.
He accepted the offer gracefully, and i think that's about when i started to feel a little better about this whole thing.
eventually after two weeks of back and forth emails he gave me the news that Kangaroo had decided they wanted us to sign with them, and from there on he described the way that we would do or business.
The highlights of said email were legal representation, paying for our travel and some other things like their percentage rate.
I agreed to their percentage, i honestly thought it was low and pretty generous.
we have plans to be publicly represented on their site in a few months. So if you search us NO, you won't find us there. having said that if you'd like proof i can provide screenshots at Anthony's permission to you.
We have not been asked to pay a fee, and after asking him he actually assured me that they would not ask for one.
I really hope this helps, if there are more questions please ask. I answer fairly fast.
something to note about my band is that we're based out of the United States and that i do keep in contact with Anthony regularly. Concerning the allegations against those facebook reviews... yeah, i can't defend that, and to me it does seem incredibly unlikely that a small agency have five stars and happy customers all around the board. if anyone has ANY things to say or add about that facebook thing please do, that genuinely confused me, because i've never ever seen five stars and such positive reviews.
Again, this is unbiased. if at any moment this starts to feel wrong i'll post again.

man i know i know, but i took a huge huge chance and whatever happens happens. I really haven't had to invest anything into this

I do not think your theory is valid. I joined for free also as DreamHouseBand long before you opened this post. In no way they could manipulate me, since this happened a month ago.

no scam. It is obvius that somebody has interests in discrediting kangaroo, since a couple of days ago too many efforts by a single person.

I agree with you

I've been with Robert for over a year, the owner of the agency Kangaroo booking contacted initially for artists. I can assure you, that I have not had any problems with them. What's more, I also know that some friends wanted to go from UT to kangaroo bookings and they could not because they only picked up the best ones there. With this I say everything.

I suppose they could put advertising on their website, or use other systems, but that is something of the company and its policies.

Look at all the accounts that just replied defending Kangaroo bookings. Created the exact same day they post, as per usual. Don't be fooled by these scammers.

After a small search, it seems clear what happens. Apparently the creator of this thread works in a company called Gloo Studios: gloostudios.com

They contact artists to make videos and charge them for it. The subject in question is responsible for animating videos and making music, with their corresponding commission. I think this guy, Alexander is trying to discredit Kangaroo Bookings by simply stealing customers. Just my opinion.

Yes I copied the comment from Ernest de Jong Booker, I just wanted to quote him, I do not know how this is done in this forum. I'm not an idiot because of that, not everyone is as smart as you.
